Coach Freak Out Good

Okay That Was Quick - Violence Stole My Attention

Hey Stockton, here's looking at you.

Oh Stockton, you can't avoid the violence (or the foreclosures). Why are you always on a national list for really really crap-tastic things?

What exactly are you on the list for now?

Fifth most violent city in America! AWESOME. AND it's only 2 violent crimes per 100,000 people behind Las Vegas who is barely holding down the #4 spot. We're coming for you Vegas. Stockton's going to take you out, most likely in some violent way.

Miami, Memphis, and Detroit round out the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st spots respectively.

Apparently drug related crime is up, which the Forbes article attributes to Stockton's location on I-5 (high five!) and it's proximity between Seattle and Mexico. Personally, I attribute it to people liking drugs and violence. That's just me though. And I haven't done a "study" on it, or "researched" the "issue" so I guess I'm not considered a credible source of information. Alas, Forbes, you win again.

This Gave Me the Chills

Somehow, I manage to play intramural basketball on Friday nights (so far). It's been fun. Although we lost a heart breaker on technical fouls. Also got my first and only bucket tonight. hahahahah. Nevertheless, I'm more of a fan than a player (that is an understatement requiring extreme emphasis on fan).

Saw this commercial while watching the Rookie Sophomore game tonight (recorded it). Pure awesome. The guys at Nike and Jordan definitely know how to make a commercial. Also, T-Mobile clearly hired a bunch of youngins to scream on every made basket. It's annoying.

Guns

I'm all for protection of the right to bear arms....but there is a point where guns shouldn't be allowed. In my world, I say no guns on federal property (unless you're law enforcement or whatever), i.e. if your property receives federal funding, no gun permits are recognized. This is particularly an issue in Texas, since people can have a license to carry a firearm. Hey protect their rights, but with everything, there's a time and there's a place.

Recently, legislation has come down to allow college students to carry handguns to school. What?! Are you kidding me?

Well, here's the solution if the bill passes.

Professor’s plan

As a professor at the University of Houston, I would heartily endorse a bill of the Texas Legislature allowing students to carry pistols into class. I would amend my course syllabus to provide on the first day for both an introduction to the course and a lesson in shooting. If my students were to encounter a dangerous person charging into the classroom — a terrorist, bigamist, extortionist or plagiarist — I would have them form a circle around the miscreant, pull out their pistols, and shoot him. The only problem I foresee is that some of my students might be “C” or “D” students, and they would possibly miss the intended criminal, shooting, instead, their classmates across from them.

This, would, however, be classified as collateral damage, and my students would not be charged with a crime for the death of their classmates.

As an amendment to the bill, I would have the Legislature authorize the installation of artillery cannon at strategic sites on campus. These cannon would enable us to respond to mortar shells being shot into the campus from downtown Houston or other hostile venues. To ensure the accuracy of the artillery, I would ask the computer science department to provide a course of instruction for students in the newly designed GPS/INS (fire-and-forget global positioning systems and internal navigation systems) utilizing military satellites. No prerequisites for this course would be required. The ability to read and forget is an inborn trait.

The.Greatest.Question.EVER

In Massachusetts my roommate Andrew and I used to DVR Jeopardy every day. The first year I was there we would frequently watch it with Brooke and her roommates. It was a tradition - Apts 203 and 204 loved Jeopardy night - and it was seldom missed by any of us. Now I wish both apartments were watching Jeopardy when this happened:

Yes, we were living in New England, but my hatred for Lebron James is definitely rivaled by my undying, unrelenting hatred for the New England Patriots and particulary, the man who's name is the answer to this question.
